Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit wenigstens einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connector having at least one arranged in a housing spring or blade contact element according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik sind Steckverbinder bekannt, die für eine Mehrzahl von einadrigen, isolierten Kabel vorgesehen sind. Sämtliche Kabel sind dabei innerhalb des Steckverbinders einzeln, beispielsweise mit Schneidklemmkontakten fixiert und kontaktiert.In particular, in the field of automotive engineering connectors are known, which are provided for a plurality of single-core, insulated cables. All cables are individually within the connector, for example, fixed with insulation displacement contacts and contacted.

Ein solcher Steckverbinder geht beispielsweise aus der DE 20 2012 006 976 U1 hervor. Bei diesem Steckverbinder sind die Feder- oder Messerkontaktelemente in einem rechten Winkel zu den einadrigen, isolierten Kabeln angeordnet. Eine solche winkelige Anordnung der Steckkontakte relativ zu dem einadrigen, isolierten Kabel ist weit verbreitet.Such a connector is for example from the DE 20 2012 006 976 U1 out. In this connector, the spring or blade contact elements are arranged at a right angle to the single-core, insulated cables. Such an angular arrangement of the plug contacts relative to the single-core, insulated cable is widely used.

Aus der DE 10 2006 045 808 A1 geht ein Steckverbinder mit Zugentlastung hervor, bei dem die Steckkontakte ebenfalls im Winkel von etwa 90° angeordnet sind und der der Kontaktierung einer Mehrzahl von einadrigen, isolierten Kabeln, die als Flachbandkabel miteinander verbunden sind, dient. Bei diesem Steckverbinder sind im Gehäuse Klemmelemente vorgesehen, welche eine Kabelisolierung durch Verformung der Isolierung und sogar teilweise Eindringen in die Isolierung klemmen. Diese Klemmelemente sind als unelastische Klemmelemente an dem Kunststoffgehäuse ausgebildet.From the DE 10 2006 045 808 A1 goes out a connector with strain relief, in which the plug contacts also arranged at an angle of about 90 ° are and the contacting of a plurality of single-core, insulated cables, which are connected to each other as a ribbon cable, is used. In this connector clamping elements are provided in the housing, which clamp a cable insulation by deformation of the insulation and even partially penetrate into the insulation. These clamping elements are designed as inelastic clamping elements on the plastic housing.

Kontaktierungen für mehrere einadrige, isolierte Kabel gehen auch aus der US 3,808,582 sowie der US 5,076,801 hervor. Die Kontaktierung erfolgt dabei auf teilweise umständlichem Wege. Auch sind diese Kontaktierungslösungen nicht ohne Weiteres in Steckverbindern einsetzbar.Contacts for multiple single-core, insulated cables also go from the US 3,808,582 as well as the US 5,076,801 out. The contacting takes place in some complicated way. Also, these contacting solutions are not readily usable in connectors.

Das Dokument EP2747208A1 offenbart ebenfalls einen ähnlichen Steckverbinder.The document EP2747208A1 also discloses a similar connector.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder der eingangs beschriebenen Art derart weiterzubilden, dass eine einfache und sichere Kontaktierung von einadrigen, isolierten Kabeln, insbesondere auch einer Mehrzahl von einadrigen, isolierten Kabeln, möglich ist, wobei die Kabel so in dem Steckverbinder angeordnet sein sollen, dass sie in Steckrichtung, also nicht im Winkel zur Steckrichtung, verlaufen.The invention has the object of providing a connector of the type described above in such a way that a simple and secure contact of single-core, insulated cables, in particular a plurality of single-core, insulated cables, is possible, the cables to be arranged in the connector should be that in the direction of insertion, so not at an angle to the direction of insertion, run.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die im unabhängigen Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object is solved by the features specified in the independent claim 1.

Grundidee der Erfindung ist es, bei einem derartigen Steckverbinder den wenigstens einen Schneidklemmkontakt so um 90° zu drehen und so in einer Linie mit den Feder- oder Messerkontaktelementen anzuordnen, dass eine gewissermaßen "lineare" Anordnung der Feder- oder Messerkontaktelemente und des einadrigen, isolierten Kabels erreicht wird. Die Anordnung erlaubt darüber hinaus eine einfache Montage auch mehrerer einadriger, isolierter Kabel in einem Steckverbinder, wie nachfolgend noch näher erläutert wird.The connector according to the invention with at least one arranged in a housing spring or blade contact element which is electrically connected to at least one insulation displacement contact, the at least one single-core, insulated cable contacted and fixed, has at least one in the insertion direction of the spring or blade contact element relative to the spring - Or knife contact element arranged rotated by 90 ° Insulation displacement contact, which makes it possible to contact the at least one single-core, insulated cable extending in the insertion direction by a insulation displacement contact and fix. The basic idea of the invention is to rotate the at least one insulation displacement contact by 90 ° in such a connector and to arrange it in line with the spring or blade contact elements in such a way that a somewhat "linear" arrangement of the spring or blade contact elements and the single-core, isolated Cable is reached. The arrangement also allows a simple assembly of several single-core, insulated cable in a connector, as will be explained in more detail below.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Steckverbinders sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche. So ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass auf der dem Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement abgewandten Seite mit diesem einstückig verbunden ein Träger angeordnet ist, an dem der wenigstens eine Schneidklemmkontakt um 90° gedreht ausgebildet ist. Diese einstückige Ausbildung des Feder- oder Messerkontaktelements und des Schneidklemmkontakts erleichtern nicht nur die Herstellung, sondern sind auch hinsichtlich der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit vorteilhaft.Advantageous embodiments of the connector are the subject of the dependent claims. Thus, the invention provides that on the side facing away from the spring or blade contact element with this integrally connected to a carrier is arranged, on which the at least one insulation displacement contact is formed rotated by 90 °. This one-piece design of the spring or blade contact element and the insulation displacement contact not only facilitate the production, but are also advantageous in terms of electrical conductivity.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass auf der dem wenigstens einen Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement abgewandten Seite des wenigstens einen Schneidklemmkontakts an dem Träger wenigstens ein Klemmelement ausgebildet ist, welches im kontaktierten und fixierten Zustand des wenigstens einen einadrigen, isolierten Kabels dessen Isolation zur Ausbildung einer Zugentlastung klemmt. Das Klemmelement ist also Teil des elektrisch leitfähigen Feder- oder Messerkontaktelements und des Schneidklemmkontakts und ebenfalls an dem Träger angeordnet. Auf diese Weise können in dem Gehäuse angeordnete Klemmelemente wegfallen. Vielmehr wird das Klemmelement zusammen mit dem Feder- oder Messerkontakt, dem Schneidklemmkontakt und dem Träger hergestellt.The invention provides that on the at least one spring or blade contact element facing away from the at least one insulation displacement contact on the support at least one clamping element is formed, which clamps in the contacted and fixed state of at least one single-core, insulated cable whose isolation to form a strain relief , The clamping element is thus part of the electrically conductive spring or blade contact element and the insulation displacement contact and also arranged on the carrier. In this way, arranged in the housing clamping elements can be omitted. Rather, the clamping element is produced together with the spring or blade contact, the insulation displacement contact and the carrier.

Dabei sieht eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung vor, dass das Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement, der Träger, der an dem Träger angeordnete Schneidklemmkontakt und das an dem Träger angeordnete Klemmelement ein einziges Stanzteil bilden. Das Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement, der Träger, der an dem Träger angeordnete Schneidklemmkontakt und das an dem Träger ausgebildete Klemmelement werden bevorzugt in einem Stanzschritt hergestellt.Anschließend erfolgt eine Drehung des Schneidklemmkontakts um 90°. Eine derartige Herstellungsweise kann automatisiert in großer Stückzahl erfolgen.In this case, an advantageous embodiment provides that the spring or blade contact element, the carrier, the insulation displacement contact arranged on the carrier and the clamping element arranged on the carrier form a single stamped part. The spring or blade contact element, the carrier, the insulation displacement contact arranged on the support and the clamping element formed on the support are preferably produced in a stamping step. Subsequently, the insulation displacement contact is rotated by 90 °. Such a method of preparation can be automated in large numbers.

Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Gehäuse zwei Gehäuseteile umfasst, die ineinander schiebbar und unter gleichzeitiger Kontaktierung des wenigstens einen einadrigen, isolierten Kabels aneinander verrastbar sind. Auf diese Weise erfolgt die Kontaktierung und Fixierung des einadrigen, isolierten Kabels simultan zur Montage der beiden Gehäuseteile aneinander.The invention provides that the housing comprises two housing parts which can be slid into one another and latched to one another with simultaneous contacting of the at least one single-core, insulated cable. In this way, the contacting and fixing of the single-core, insulated cable is carried out simultaneously for mounting the two housing parts together.

Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das wenigstens eine Feder- oder Messerkontaktelement zusammen mit dem wenigstens einen um 90° gedrehten Schneidklemmkontakt und dem diesem folgenden wenigstens einen Klemmelement in dem ersten Gehäuseteil angeordnet sind und dass das wenigstens eine zu kontaktierende und fixierende einadrige, isolierte Kabel in einer Kabelführung in dem zweiten Gehäuseteil derart angeordnet ist, dass es vor dem Ineinanderschieben der beiden Gehäuseteile über dem wenigstens einen Schneidklemmkontakt zu liegen kommt.It is provided according to the invention that the at least one spring or blade contact element together with the at least one 90 ° turned insulation displacement contact and the following at least one clamping element in the first housing part are arranged and that the at least one to be contacted and fixing single-core, insulated cable in a cable guide in the second housing part is arranged such that it comes to rest before the telescoping of the two housing parts on the at least one insulation displacement contact.

Die beiden Gehäuseteile weisen bevorzugt aneinander angepasste Rastverbindungselemente, insbesondere Rasthaken, auf. Dies ermöglicht eine sehr schnelle, auch automatische Fertigung durch einfaches Ineinanderklipsen der beiden Gehäuseteile unter gleichzeitiger Kontaktierung und Fixierung des wenigstens einen einadrigen, isolierten Kabels.The two housing parts preferably have mutually adapted latching connection elements, in particular latching hooks. This allows a very fast, even automatic production by simply clipping the two housing parts together while simultaneously contacting and fixing the at least one single-core, insulated cable.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist der Steckverbinder zur Kontaktierung und Fixierung von mehreren in dem Gehäuse nebeneinander liegend angeordneten einadrigen, isolierten Kabeln. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass eine Mehrzahl von in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Feder- oder Messerkontaktelementen mit den ihnen zugeordneten Schneidklemmkontakten und Klemmelementen nebeneinander liegend angeordnet sind.Particularly advantageous is the connector for contacting and fixing of several juxtaposed in the housing one-wire, insulated cables.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Ein als Ganzer mit 10 bezeichneter Steckverbinder weist ein Gehäuse auf, das im Wesentlichen aus zwei Teilen besteht, einem ersten Teil 100 und einem zweiten Teil 200, die aneinander verrastbar sind. In dem ersten Teil 100 sind Federkontaktelemente 410 angeordnet. In dem Gehäuse 100 sind Öffnungen 110 vorgesehen, durch die auf an sich bekannte Weise an die Federkontaktelemente 410 angepasste Messerkontaktelemente (nicht dargestellt) zur Ausbildung einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung der Kontaktelemente hindurchführbar sind.A designated as a whole with 10 connector has a housing which consists essentially of two parts, a first part 100 and a second part 200 which are latched to each other. In the first part 100 spring contact elements 410 are arranged. In the housing 100 are openings 110 provided by the known per se manner to the spring contact elements 410 adapted blade contact elements (not shown) for forming an electrically conductive connection of the contact elements are guided.

Mit den Federkontaktelementen 410 einstückig verbunden ist ein Träger 405 (siehe auch Fig. 3). An dem Träger 405 ausgebildet ist ein Schneidklemmkontakt 430, der senkrecht zu einer Steckrichtung R (Fig. 3) angeordnet ist, um ein einadriges, isoliertes Kabel 304 zu kontaktieren und zu fixieren. Ebenfalls einstückig mit dem Träger 405 ist ein Klemmelement 440 verbunden, welches in Steckrichtung R gesehen auf der dem dem Federkontaktelement 410 abgewandten Seite des Schneidklemmkontakts 430 angeordnet ist. In dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 200 ist wenigstens eine Öffnung 210 vorgesehen, die an das einadrige, isolierte Kabel 304 angepasst ist und der Aufnahme des einadrigen, isolierten Kabels 304 dient. Das einadrige, isolierte Kabel 304 ist dabei so in dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 200 angeordnet, dass es vor der Montage des zweiten Gehäuseteils 200 an dem ersten Gehäuseteil 100 über den Schneidklemmkontakten 430 zu liegen kommt. Dieser Zustand vor der Montage ist in den Fig. 1 und 3 dargestellt.Integrally connected to the spring contact elements 410 is a carrier 405 (see also FIG Fig. 3 ). Formed on the carrier 405 is an insulation displacement contact 430 which is perpendicular to a plug-in direction R (FIG. Fig. 3 ) is arranged to contact and fix a single core, insulated cable 304. Also integral with the carrier 405 is a clamping element 440 connected, which, viewed in the insertion direction R, is arranged on the side of the insulation displacement contact 430 facing away from the spring contact element 410. In the second housing part 200, at least one opening 210 is provided, which is adapted to the single-core, insulated cable 304 and serves to receive the single-core, insulated cable 304. The single-core, insulated cable 304 is arranged in the second housing part 200 such that it comes to lie above the insulation displacement contacts 430 before mounting the second housing part 200 on the first housing part 100. This condition before assembly is in the Fig. 1 and 3 shown.

Die Montage erfolgt nun so, dass das zweite Gehäuseteil 200 in einer mit M bezeichneten Richtung (siehe Fig. 3, Fig. 4) in Richtung des ersten Gehäuseteils 100 geschoben wird, wobei der Schneidklemmkontakt 430 auf an sich bekannte Weise das einadrige, isolierte Kabel 304 kontaktiert und fixiert. Hierzu durchschneidet der Schneidklemmkontakt 430 den Isolationsmantel des einadrigen, isolierten Kabels 304, teilweise auch dessen Kern, wobei er in die Litzen des einadrigen, isolierten Kabels eindringt und so eine elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung ausgebildet wird.The assembly is now carried out so that the second housing part 200 in a designated M direction (see Fig. 3 . Fig. 4 ) is pushed in the direction of the first housing part 100, wherein the insulation displacement contact 430 contacted in a known manner, the single-core, insulated cable 304 and fixed. For this purpose, the insulation displacement contact 430 cuts through the insulation jacket of the single-core, insulated cable 304, in part also its core, whereby it penetrates into the strands of the single-core, insulated cable and thus an electrically conductive connection is formed.

Durch das Ineinanderschieben der beiden Gehäuseteile 200, 100 wird das Kabel 304 auch auf das Klemmelement 440 gedrückt und das Klemmelement 440 klemmt den Isolationsmantel des Kabels 304. Das Klemmelement 440 dient damit nicht nur der Fixierung des Kabels 304, sondern auch einer Zugentlastung. Dieser Zustand nach der Montage ist in den Fig. 2 und 4 dargestellt.By telescoping the two housing parts 200, 100, the cable 304 is also pressed onto the clamping element 440 and the clamping element 440 clamps the insulating jacket of the cable 304. The clamping element 440 not only serves to fix the cable 304, but also to relieve strain. This condition after assembly is in the Fig. 2 and 4 shown.

Die beiden Gehäuseteile weisen aneinander angepasste Rasthaken 140, 240 auf, die ineinander einrasten und so das zweite Gehäuseteil 200 an dem ersten Gehäuseteil 100 halten.The two housing parts have mutually adapted latching hooks 140, 240, which engage in one another and thus hold the second housing part 200 on the first housing part 100.

Der Vorteil dieser Montage ist, dass sie auf einfache Weise auch automatisiert möglich ist. Der Steckverbinder ermöglicht die Montage mehrerer nebeneinander liegender einadriger, isolierter Kabel 301, 302, 303, 304 auf die vorbeschriebene Weise, wobei diese Kabel in Steckrichtung R angeordnet sind, also eine kolineare Anordnung zu den Federkontaktelementen 410 aufweisen. Die einadrigen, isolierten Kabel 301, 302, 303, 304 fluchten gewissermaßen mit den Schneidklemmkontakten 410.The advantage of this assembly is that it is also automated in a simple way. The connector allows the assembly of several juxtaposed single-core, insulated cables 301, 302, 303, 304 in the manner described above, wherein these cables are arranged in the direction of insertion R, so have a colinear arrangement to the spring contact elements 410. The single-core, insulated cables 301, 302, 303, 304 are aligned with the insulation displacement contacts 410, so to speak.

Es versteht sich, dass statt der Schneidklemmkontakte 410 auch Messerkontakte (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen sein können. Darüber hinaus ist es rein prinzipiell möglich, nicht nur einen Schneidklemmkontakt 430, sondern mehrere hintereinander liegende Schneidklemmkontakte an dem Träger 405 auszubilden. Auch kann mehr als ein Klemmelement 440 an dem Träger ausgebildet werden.It is understood that instead of the insulation displacement contacts 410 also blade contacts (not shown) may be provided. In addition, it is purely possible in principle, not only an insulation displacement contact 430, but a plurality of successive insulation displacement contacts on the carrier 405 form. Also, more than one clamping element 440 may be formed on the carrier.

Ein besonderer Vorteil besteht darin, dass das Federkontaktelement 410, der Träger 405, der Schneidklemmkontakt 430 und das Klemmelement 440 aus einem einzigen Stanzteil hergestellt werden können, vorzugsweise mit einem einzigen Stanzvorgang. Nach dem Stanzvorgang muss lediglich noch der Schneidklemmkontakt 430 um 90° gedreht werden. Eine solche Herstellung ist auch automatisiert möglich. Ein großer Vorteil besteht auch darin, dass das Klemmelement 440 als Metallteil ausgebildet ist, das mit dem Federkontaktelement 410, dem Schneidklemmkontakt 430 über dem Träger 405 einstückig verbunden ist. Dies erhöht die Zugfestigkeit des oder der einadrigen, isolierten Kabel in dem Steckverbindergehäuse wesentlich. Das Kabel wird in diesem Falle nicht mehr durch ein an dem Gehäuse angeordnetes Klemmelement gehalten, sondern durch ein Klemmelement, welches mit dem Federkontaktelement 410 verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise können Klemmelemente in dem Gehäuse wegfallen, was auch die Herstellung des Gehäuses wesentlich erleichtert, bei gleichzeitiger Erhöhung der Stabilität.A particular advantage is that the spring contact element 410, the carrier 405, the insulation displacement contact 430 and the clamping element 440 can be made of a single stamped part, preferably with a single punching operation. After the punching process, only the insulation displacement contact 430 has to be turned by 90 °. Such a production is also possible automatically. A great advantage is also that the clamping element 440 is formed as a metal part, which is integrally connected to the spring contact element 410, the insulation displacement contact 430 on the support 405. This increases the tensile strength of the one-core or one-core, insulated cable in the connector housing essential. The cable is no longer held in this case by a clamping element arranged on the housing, but by a clamping element, which is connected to the spring contact element 410. In this way, clamping elements can be omitted in the housing, which also makes the production of the housing much easier, while increasing the stability.
